"Don't eat with your fingers!" It's an admonition that spans several generations. Flashback to your childhood and the memory or a parent or grandparent telling you to drop the offending food item and pick up your fork will magically appear. Fast forward to this Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII and all bets are off. I'm not referring to the office pool, but the one day of the year when you're actually encouraged to eat with your fingers.

In fact, other than a bowl of chili, I can't think of any Super Bowl food that requires a kitchen utensil.
